Dueling McHenry polls

Apparently Patrick McHenry put out a poll earlier this week showing himself with a 62% approval rating and a 50-20 lead in a possible general election match up with Daniel Johnson.

That's funny because when we polled the race in December he had a 44% approval rating and just a 39-32 lead over Johnson.

I somewhat doubt McHenry did anything in the last few months to make himself so much more popular.

A key difference between our poll and his poll? Well we released the full questionnaire with wordings and weights. I'm guessing his camp was a little more selective in what they put out in public, and unless a candidate releases their entire poll I have trouble putting too much stock in the results when they differ considerably from ours.
